Macs however always have two-fingers secondary click;
their magic mouse have both (it's mouse-touchpad hybrid).

Worth noting that the tap-and-hold is used only in very few
places of the macOS shell, like the bottom launcher and
Launchpad, pretty much nothing else accepts tap-and-hold
for context menu, certainly not any of the regular apps.
So I wouldn't say that is "the usual way" on mac at all.

Just to provide some more insight for non-mac folks.
